[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] According to multiple US-Japan diplomatic sources cited by Kyodo News on the 28th, the Japanese government has expressed opposition to the idea of expanding the Group of Seven (G7) summit to include South Korea.
According to the report, a senior Japanese government official explained that shortly after US President Donald Trump announced the plan to expand the G7, Japan conveyed its opposition to South Korea's participation to the US government.
The Japanese government raised concerns that the Moon Jae-in administration prioritizes inter-Korean reconciliation and shows a pro-China stance, which Kyodo reported is in consideration of President Trump's confrontational stance toward China.
